Astaxanthin possess a red color pigment, a type of xanthophylls carotenoid and is mainly found in algae, fish and bird. In this study, cell growth and astaxanthin accumulation from four different isolated microalgae species based on their morphology were investigated. Isolated microalgae were cultur...
